The night features selectors MONIKER, HEDAWN, and FRIK on a Funktion One rig, with a production seminar led by Moniker taking place before the performances. This is an all-ages, sober event.

Sets stitch together classics, emerging voices, and original tracks to build a raw, warm, underground atmosphere.
